shortness of breath

I am 10 wks today and feel like I can't catch my breath sometimes. I can walk 50 ft and need to stop and catch my breath. I can't even carry a full conversation sometimes without needing to stop for air. This is my second and I didn't experience this with my first. Anyone else having this problem?? I'm kinda worried at this point.

I have been experiencing the exact same thing. It's kinda scary. But normal from what I read. Not sure how to define normal but I did read about it on one of these sites. It's kinda scary and a little annoying. I keep forgetting to ask my provider but i plan on bringing it up.

I have it too - didn't get it in my first pregnancy until the very last month but got it just this week with this pregnancy. I think it's just your body & lungs working overtime to support the little bean you're creating :-)

I'm 10 wks 1 day and am experiencing the same thing! This is also my second and I don't recall shortness of breath this early with my son. Glad to hear someone else dealing with this. I was starting to think I was ridiculously out of shape!

This is my 4th pregnancy and I don't recall having this same shortness of breath you are describing with my previous pregnancies. I thought that I was just VERY out of shape but it feels like a panic attack is about to strike. I keep yawning and trying to take a deep breath. It feels awful, it goes away but I definitely can't walk as much as I used to and I'm only 8 weeks along! I feel more like 8 months already! Yikes! I have no appetitie and have to force myself to eat. I notice that I feel better and can breath easier if I make sure to stay hydrated and eat little snacks all day instead of large meals.

Of course, I would bring it up to your doctor, every woman and pregnancy is different and you want to take every precaution. I plan to bring it up at my next appointment.

Could be anemia too. I'm anemic and when I'm really low I get short of breath, it's different from my asthma, in that I just feel like I can't get a big enough breath and get winded, I also tend to yawn a lot.
